im lost need help

[omfgitsdonovan]

okay so the other day when driving home from work this weird sound started and it sounds as if to be coming from the bottom of the motor when im inside the car but when im outside i cant hear it it only in first gear and only at about 2k rpms its just a really quick slight rattle/very very faint knocking sound for maybe on acouple hundred rpms then goes away.

 

[kotu100]

could be the start of rod knock. has the motor been rebuilt? how many miles? is it modded?

or it could be the tranny if it ONLY happens in 1st gear.

the more info u can give us the more help we can give you.

check to make sure your exhaust isnt loose or rattling around.

when the sound happens its like its at the bottom of my feet at the rear of the motor but i cant here ti outside of the car at idle but yeah only in first gear i ever here it ill check exhuast after work and some of the odds and ends but i was also told it might be the timing so does anyone have a link to where to do the timing? thanks

 

[omfgitsdonovan]

and yes the previous owner said it was rebuilt and has roughly 40k on it and yeah it has mods mostly bolt ons etc.

can you hear it when free reving with your head under the hood?

 

[omfgitsdonovan]

nope i cant here it while under the hood the only time i hear it is when the motor is under a load and im drivning and now i beleive im starting to here it throgh out 1-3 now so the car is permanetly parked for now im getting my moms ford escort so itll probably be a year or two until its back on the road.

now this sucks haa no more power besides ford escort power babay!!
